A Diversity Theory Of Charitable Tax Exemption—Beyond Efficiency, Through Critical Race Theory, Toward Diversity, David A. Brennen
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
What is the normative rationale for the federal income tax exemption for nonprofit charitable corporations? Even though the exemption dates back to 1894, Congress has failed to fully rationalize it. Though scholars and courts have attempted over the years to come up with a coherent rationale for the charitable tax exemption, their attempts are focused almost exclusively on economic efficiency. Thus, the charitable tax exemption is typically framed by noted tax scholars like Boris Bittker, Henry Hansmann, and others as an economically efficient means of providing certain goods and services to the public. Rationalizing the charitable tax exemption in economic …

A Lifetime Income Tax, Herwig J. Schlunk
A Lifetime Income Tax, Herwig J. Schlunk
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

I answer the question in the negative, and propose a lifetime income tax that would eliminate the need for typical taxpayers to borrow …
